Should be interesting to see what'll happen, anyway. UTT

£200 is a fair figure, and will put a stop to the 3,500 who regularly can't be arsed turning up! Then pay on the day fans might be able to get in the Kilner or Lower tier!

Don't know if any English clubs do it atm, but last I heard in Germany they categorise the unemployed with students and oaps, so I'd do that - those that can afford it pay the same rates as the year before last, those that can't, well, they get a reduction. Simple. the problem there though is those that pay the amount they'd expect to (ie normal price),then say a week later get made redundant-wouldn't go down too well,and you'd have some saying 'well you should have waited til the last day to see if you got made redundant so you could get cheaper tickets' and others saying i paid full price but got made redundant 3 days later,thats unfair on me cos others that were already redundant can already get them cheaper'

that opens up a whole host of problems. whilst i sympathise with people who are trying to work but struggling to get a job why should those who cant be arsed get subsidised tickets? I don't think there are that many in today's economic climate that can't be arsed getting work. England's too expensive to be on the dole, anyway. How very wrong you are. Some people that claim benefits actually get more than people who work on a monthly basis. They may not get it in terms of physical cash, but when you consider that the Government will pay for the house, council tax, water/gas/electric, folk on't dole will probs end up with more spare money than many that work. If Town categoraised tickets in the way you say I would be very, very annoyed. It already pisses me off how students get cheaper tickets, so if they made um cheaper for folk on't dole i'd blow a fuse.

Can't see the point to be truthful of pointing out cases of people who don't want to work, because I'm looking at the majority. If 3000 currently working season ticket holders get made redundant, I'd bet a pound to a penny that most of them would want their jobs back. You've only got to go back to the 70s and 80s to see what effect the economy had on attendances up and down the country. Nowt wrong with a bit of socialsim now and again!

i would probably pay £250 for a season ticket next season,
i have other financial commitments that need to be managed but a home season ticket is something of a commodity. i usually go to 20 away games a season but next year i will probably miss many of them and opt for the grounds that i haven't been to before.

£100 in The Pink Link... Town fans only. Full and rockin' every game! £150 Kilner Bank £200 Riverside Fantastic media for away fans @ £15 a game (except for Leeds when it's £35!) Everybody's happy... Sorted!

I do think it would make sense to have a 'cheap' area which would hopefully encourage a sort of 'cowshed'?
Also I think we should go down the Bradford route. They said if 10,000 comitted to buying season tickets they'd all be a certain price/ get a free season ticket I think. If they didn't reach that many it would be more expensive.

I think they will price it low and hike it quite a bit if we go up this or next season.

Anyways, back on topic. £200 is a resonable price for them to be set at I think. Also agree if they had a "cheap" section to try and courage a "Cowshed" type area. Only place I could for this to be though is the FM Lower, which is quite a poor stand. Although it would help me pull off some decent displays if that area was full ;D

Though I was in there for the Leeds game and you can get cans of Tetleys and Strongbow which tastes better than any of the shite anywhere else in the ground.

Sorted! Spot on idea Klever one. I'd love it if the South Stand was turned into home area only and was filled every week. I have to say I was a bit of a sceptic about this as I thought not too many would want to sit behind the goal but it has been great fun in there this season. Does anyone (mids?) know if it is been considered at all to make it a home only area?

The number of people claiming JSA when they aren't actively seeking work is no where near as significant as rags like the Daily Mail make out. Anyway, that pricing strategy is not present over here so there's no debate to be had really .

cowshed loyal you wright about the scroungers who can not be ar*** too look for work. I think they will be £200+ Going totally off topic... While of course there will always be a very small minority who don't want to work, life on benefits is FAR from easy. You get less than £60 a week to live off if you are simily unemployed (for those unable to work it's different). Going on personal experience alone I can't say i've met many people who actually prefur sitting at home doing nothing, rahter than going out and having the satisfaction of earning money. It might be fun for a few months, but eventually you get bored!

Does anyone (mids?) know if it is been considered at all to make it a home only area? The Stadium Safety Certificate dictates that away fans MUST sit in the South Stand due to the access back to the coaches and car parks. The current Safety Officer has no interest in discussing it but I think he retires soon. Once a new chap comes in perhaps it will be open to debate again - personally I'd prefer for them to sit in the DG Lower towards the away fans and then they have the rampway all to themselves to get back to the coaches... It also negates any positivity generated by crowds behind the goals

The maximum I could reasonably pay for next seasons ST would probably be £250. Any more than that and it will be close to not being worth my while.
That said, I have been more home matches this time than I have in years, stopped going on a Tuesday night a while back but started again this season because I only had transport costs to consider.

The number of people claiming JSA when they aren't actively seeking work is no where near as significant as rags like the Daily Mail make out. I dont read the Daily Mail, i'm talking from first hand experience on a day to day basis Plus folk who claim JSA have to attempt to find work or they dont get any, wether they want the job or not is a different matter. It might not be a 50/50 split, but the number who dont ever want to work is quite high. Anyways, it would be silly to give cheaper season tickets to people out of work, what about people that do work, but earn a low wage. Should they get cheaper season tickets than someone who earns £50k a year? Would be impossible to work & make it fair for everyone.

as long as they continue to look after familys i dont mind an increase although if bradford can keep them cheap so can we,i take 2 boys and its okay saying 200-250 is okay if your a single buyer but if you have a family and on top of that food that soon becomes expensive,however i think hoyle is a shrewd guy and i honestly think the tickets will be between 150-250 dependent on where you sit.

I believe we should back Dean, he has put the money in and it is now up to us how grateful we all are and give him our support. Dont go moaning when the money dries up we are in this together pay a fair price.200 Would be good starting point with concessions for people unlucky to be out of work.I would prefer to have 10000 true fans who turn up to every game than than this years farce of the missing thousands.

Tickets will be a lot nearer the £300 mark than £100 and I have that on very good authority.Town have made a loss of £1.5M on season tickets this season and this is not sustainable for next season.I am sure that people will start throwing maths at the £1.5m figure but it is a fact.
